To all whom 1f/may concern;

Be it known that ll, ARTHUR C. CIMAGLIA,

a citizen of theUnited States residing in the city of Mount' Vernon,county of Westchester, `State of New York, have invented anewv andimproved Working-Drawer for Jewelry Workers. y

It is well known among makers of jewelry and other `substances `ofprecious metals, that a considerable amount of metal filings andscrapings are l.lost by blowing away during the work and that it is verydifficult to collect the metal dust.

The'object of this invention is to provide a receptacle for receivingand collecting the metal filings and to reduce the loss of same to aminimum. 1

l obtain this object by providing a drawer having its front facerecessed and curved toward the interior with its central portion raisedsomewhat above the three other sides, and the ends somewhat lower, beingshaped thereby like an apron. i The drawer is suitably supported belowthe work bench so that it can be pulled out. The workman generallyperforms his work in a sitting position with the front end of the drawersupported upon his knees and the apron shaped front fitting around hisbody, while his arms are supported on the depressed portion of the frontand the two sides. The usual working pin is fixed at the front of thework-bench in such a position that when the drawer is pulled out the pinis above the drawer. 1n this manner all metal filings and scrapings fallinto the drawer and are thereby retained. Another importantl feature ofmy device is that the bottom and three sides of the drawer are made ofone piece of metal forming jointless edges and thereby making it veryeasy to collect the very fine metal dust which would collect at thejoint between the sides and bottom of the drawer.

Other features andadvantages will be apparent from the detaileddescription and the accompan. ing drawings forming a part of this specication and in which similar numerals refer to similar parts in all theviews and in which, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device; Fig. 2is a perspective view of my device showing a man in position at work;Fig. 3 is a plan view of the metal forming the drawer, before the sidesare turned upwardly; Fig. t is an elevation of the metal forming thefront of the drawer before it is bent to shape; Fig. 5 Yis a sideelevation of the drawer; Fig. 6 is a front elevation of the drawerlooking in the direction of line 6 6 Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 is alongitudinalsectional elevation of the drawerfshown in perspective.

Referring to Fig. 3, the bottom 1 and the sides 2, 3 and tof the drawerare made of one sheet of metal by being bent up at the edges 5, 6 and 7.The bottom 1 has a semicircular cut 8 into which thecurved portion ofthe front side of the drawer is fitted.

The drawer is supported on the runners 12 fixed beneath the bench 13 bymeans of the vertical irons 12a and is prevented from being pulled offthe runners 12 by means of the stop pieces 11. The working pin 14 isfixed at the front of the bench 13 so that it is over the center of thedrawer.

rlhe operation of the device is clearly shown in Fig. 2. rlhe workman 15is seated in front of the drawer with the bottom 1 resting upon hisknees and the curved apron shaped front piece 9 fitting snugly aroundhis body, while his arms rest over the depressed portion of the frontpiece 10 and between the depressed portions 15 and 16 of the sides 2 and3. It will now be evident that all metal filings and scrapings will fallwithin the drawer and will be retained therein; after which it can bereadily collected.

Having thus described my invention, l claim as new and wish to secure byLetters Patent:

1. A device of the character described comprising a drawer having itsfront face curved toward the interior and the central portion of saidface somewhat higher than the sides for the purpose shown and described.

2. A device of the character described comprising a drawer having itsfront face curved toward the interior and the central portion of saidface somewhat higher than the sides and sloping downward toward the endsfor the purpose shown and described.

3. A device of the character described comprising a drawer having itsfront face curved toward the interior, the central portion of said facebeing somewhat higher than the ends and the two sides of the drawerbeing depressed somewhat near the front face for the purpose shown anddescribed. n

4f.. A device of the character described higher than thegends, the twosides of the drawerbeing .depressed somewhat near the front face forthepurpose shown and described.

f 6.-A device ofthe. character described comprising a working bench, adrawer .slidingly supported beneath said bench having itsfront tacecurved toward the interior and its central portion somewhat higher thanthe sides for the purpose shown and described. 1

7. A device of the character described comprising a working bench, adrawer slidingly supported beneath said bench having its front 'facecurved toward the interior and its central portion somewhat higher thanthey sides for the purpose shown and described, and a working pin fixedatthe front of said bench approximately over the center line of saiddrawer.
